What should I do if the double eyelid surgery failed after three months?

Generally, double eyelid surgery refers to the procedure of creating double eyelids. The general reference price for double eyelid surgery ranges from 8,000 to 20,000 yuan per session, and improvement is usually noticeable 1-3 months after surgery. Double eyelid surgery may fail due to reasons such as skin laxity, fat accumulation, conjunctivitis, keratitis, or dry eye syndrome. It is recommended to seek timely medical attention and follow the doctor's guidance for general treatment or medication. Detailed explanations are as follows:

1. Skin Laxity

With aging, the skin gradually loses elasticity, causing the double eyelid effect to become less noticeable. An eyelid lift (blepharoplasty) can be performed under a doctor's guidance to treat this condition. This procedure involves removing excess skin and tissue to tighten the eye area and reshape the double eyelid. The general reference price for eyelid lift surgery ranges from 5,000 to 10,000 yuan per session, and improvement is typically seen 1-3 months after surgery, although symptoms such as swelling and bruising may occur.

2. Fat Accumulation

Excessive fat around the eyes may affect the clarity of the double eyelid line, making the effect less noticeable. Eyelid liposuction can be considered under a doctor's recommendation, using vacuum suction technology to remove excess fat and enhance the clarity of the double eyelid line. The general reference price for eyelid liposuction ranges from 3,000 to 8,000 yuan per session, and improvement is usually observed 1-2 months after surgery, although symptoms such as redness and pain may occur.

3. Conjunctivitis

Conjunctivitis is usually caused by microbial infection or external irritation. Conjunctival inflammation can easily lead to ocular congestion and edema, affecting the outcome of double eyelid surgery. It is typically accompanied by symptoms such as itching, pain, and tearing. Treatment may involve using medications such as levofloxacin eye drops, tobramycin eye drops, or acyclovir eye drops, as directed by a physician.

4. Keratitis

Keratitis is typically caused by invasion of pathogens into the corneal tissue. Corneal inflammation leads to corneal edema and opacity, affecting the visual outcome after double eyelid surgery. It is generally accompanied by symptoms such as photophobia, tearing, and eyelid spasm. Treatment typically involves using medications such as fluconazole eye drops, ganciclovir eye drops, or natamycin eye drops, as directed by a physician.

5. Dry Eye Syndrome

Dry eye syndrome is usually caused by insufficient tear secretion or excessive evaporation. Dry eye leads to unstable tear film, causing dryness and foreign body sensation in the eyes, which affects postoperative comfort after double eyelid surgery. Symptoms such as eye fatigue and blurred vision may also occur. Treatment involves using medications such as polyvinyl alcohol eye drops, sodium hyaluronate eye drops, or carboxymethylcellulose sodium eye drops, as directed by a physician.

It is recommended to follow the doctor's instructions for postoperative care, avoid strenuous exercise and eye trauma, and maintain eye cleanliness and moisture.
